You are thinking about the NFL....in college everyone can go downfield at the snap.

Correct was watching MNF. But as long as you don't cross LOS.

But hope they don't fair catch it and free kick for 3 or the best rule...
If lined up not in shotgun and center snaps but doesn't touch offensive player it's no fumble.

Here's a variation. Suppose it's 4th and 20. The punter gets the snap and sees an opening to run for the first down. He crosses the LOS and then sees a tackler appear. He decides to punt. Is that legal?
